Following last week's announcement of the Pebble Time, Pebble's first smartwatch with a color E ink display, the smartwatch pioneer today unveiled the Pebble Time Steel and a new connector for new kind of accessories. On stage at Mobile World Congress, Eric Migicovsky, Pebble CEO, just unveiled this beautifully-designed smartwatch for iPhone and Android, with a ground-breaking battery life of up to 10 days. Launched last summer, the original Pebble Steel brought sophistication and design to smartwatches. Pebble Time Steel follows in these footsteps, combining beautiful, premium design with the powerful new technology of Pebble Time. Similar to Pebble Time, Pebble Time Steel runs the new timeline interface, has a color e-paper display, built-in microphone for quick voice replies and notes, and is water resistant.

While HTC's brand new and today's announced One M9 is a really important release for HTC, the Taiwanese smartphone specialist tried rather an evolution than a revolution of ithe current line of high-end smartphone series. While the specs all read good, the One M9 (formerly known and code-named as "HTC Hima which stands for "Himalaya") comes with Android 5.0.2/Lollipop, the brand new and enhanced HTC Sense 7, the clear focus was again on design (more about it later). Other high-end specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 64 bit octa-core CPU where 4 cores running at up to 2 GHz and the other cores run up to 1.5 GHz. It furthermore supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE at 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS/HSPA+/HSUPA at 850/900/1900/2100 MHz (varies by region) and 4G/LTE bands 1,3,5,7,8,20,28 or TDD bands 38,40,41 (also varies by region).

This is most likely the most unexpected product from HTC but indeed, HTC unveiled today during its Mobile World Congress press conference in Barcelona a strategic partnership with Valve; to bring mass-market virtual reality (VR) one step closer. Through the strategic partnership, HTC promises to transform the way in which consumers interact with technology and the world around them with the debut of HTC Vive. The HTC Vive Developer Edition will be launched this Spring, with the consumer edition available by the end of 2015. Vive combines Valve's Steam VR tracking and input technologies with HTC's world-renowned design and engineering talent, setting a new gold standard for an industry that has, until now, struggled to move beyond concept stage.

Not the expected smartwatch, HTC today unveiled during its Mobile World Congress press conference its first high-performance, smart fitness tracker, the GPS-enabled HTC Grip. Powered by UA Record, the new health and fitness network from Under Armour designed for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, Grip fuses HTC's renowned design with powerful, accurate tracking across a range of sports and activities, allowing athletes to set personal goals, then smash them. Compatible with Android and iOS devices, as well as Bluetooth-enabled accessories like heart-rate monitors, Grip extends its functionality, providing additional performance data to the Under Armour Connected Fitness platform.

As expected, HTC today unveiled its latest and as said, it's most personal, beautiful and powerful smartphone yet, the HTC One M9. The newest flagship in the globally acclaimed HTC One family, the HTC One M9 is a classic yet timeless celebration of beauty and elegance that combines high style and performance, enabling you to get the most from your mobile phone. Building on a three-year pursuit of excellence, the HTC One M9 melds the best of the award-winning HTC One M7 and HTC One M8 into a stunning, iconic design. Distinct metal edges combine perfectly with graceful curves for a jewellery-grade look. Small and easy to hold, the crafted, all-metal unibody design is highlighted by an exquisite dual-tone silver and rose gold finish that is as distinctive, as it is durable.
